In 1804 Toussaint Charbonneau was interviewed to interpret Hidatsa for the Lewis and Clark expedition, but Lewis and Clark (esp. Clark) were not overly impressed with him. However, Sacagawea his wife spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, so they hired Charbonneau on November 4, and he and Sacagawea moved into Fort Mandan a week later. Sacagawea was 16 or 17 at this time. She was with the Corps of Discovery until they arrived back in St. Louis on September 23, 1806.

she or he learned the language i think

If Sacajawea was not with Lewis and Clark they probably would not have made it as far as they did. Sacajawea is very important to national history.

Yes. Coinstar machines accept Sacagawea coins and even half-dollars. Most coin-counting machines charge a so-called 'service fee' of 8 to 10 percent which is far in excess of the amount needed to keep the machines operating. Check for the following alternatives: > Some machines will waive the fee if you take the money as a gift card rather than as cash. You just have to be careful that the card will be used, and that it too doesn't have a lot of strings attached, like expiration dates and/or 'usage fees', which are just as bad as having the machine keep a dime out of every dollar you put in. > Some major banks, including one on the U.S. East Coast with large green signs (no advertising here, please) will count coins for free, and you do not have to have an account - anyone can walk in. IMO this is the best alternative because it costs you nothing, you walk out with cash in had, and there are no 'gotcha' conditions.

that is not Sacajawea tribe

there was no actual north west passage. The whole reason Lewis and clark went on the journey was to find a north west passage so they could sail to countries like china to trade. Unfortioinatly there was no north west passage. Sacagawea helped Lewis and clark translate to the other Indian tribes. Also she helped them map out the land. Another thing that Sacagawea did was when other tribes saw that there was a women with them it was sort of like a peace symbol. Normally men would not sail with a woman.

Sacajawea (or Sacagawea) was born c. 1788. in an Agaidiku tribe of the Lemhi Shoshone in Idaho. In 1800, when she was about twelve, she and several other girls were kidnapped by a group of Hidatsa warriors during a battle. At this time the Hidatsa lived near the Mandan River in North Dakota.

Lewis and Clark thought Sacagawea was invaluable because she earned respect because Sacagawea saved their lives.

Sacajawea helped lead Lewis and Clark on the expedition because she knew the land and was trying to help Luis and Clark. They also had a slave with them named York. York was there to help the travelers relationships with the Natives. He was also there to help them hunt. York was the only slave known that was allowed to carry a gun.

There's very little information concerning Sacagawea after the expedition. Some Native American oral traditions relate that rather than dying in 1812, Sacagawea left her husband Charbonneau, crossed the Great Plains and married into a Comanche tribe, then returned to the Shoshone in Wyoming where she died in 1884.

If you got it in pocket change spend it.

Because ultimately, if they were ever stopped or taken by tribes along their journey, having a baby would show they had peaceful intent and were not a hostile war party, as it was known that indian war parties did not travel with women and children in their group.

Some people say that she just died in 1812... but then other people think that she instead left her husband Toussaint Charbonneau and married into the Comanche tribe soon after returning to her own tribe.

My honest opinion is that, Sacagawea's life lesson was to realize and help other girls realize that life's not always perfect and every once and awhile she will be going through stuff. A perfect example of a strong independent women.

Lewis was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, his family being neighbors to Jefferson. Like Jefferson he was a planter, a Republican (different than the modern political party), and a deist. He became an admiring protege of Jefferson long before the expedition, and was serving as paymaster of the First Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army when Jefferson recruited him as his private corresponsence secretary at the White House on February 3, 1801. Lewis arrived on April 1, 1801 and settled in the East Room.

Sacagawea was home schooled by her mother at the age of 7.

After the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Tousaint Charbonneau tried to farm for a while, and worked for the Upper Missouri Agency's Indian Bureau as a translator. He worked for fur companies and as a guide for people from outside the region. His last known wife, an Assiniboine girl, was 14 when she married him in 1837.

Pomp is Sacajawea's son. Son of a french fur trader. He was born on February 11,1805. Pomp was born during the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Sacagawea died December 20, 1812. Sacagawea (often spelled Sacajawea) was recorded as having died of a fever at the age of 24 or 25, on December 20, 1812, leaving behind her infant daughter Lizzie (born 1810). However, an oral tradition among Amerindian tribes is that she actually left her French trapper husband and remarried into a Comanche tribe, raising a family and dying at the age of 96 in 1884.

By starting a tradition of action for social and political change.

In spring 1805, they continued to the headwaters of the Missouri River, struggled across the Continental Divide at Lemhi Pass, and headed west along the Salmon, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 7 1805. The day was rainy and foggy, and the Columbia River estuary was four or five miles wide and they could not see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance. But they were close enough to have reached their goal.

Lewis and Clark called Sacajawea, Janey. Clark decided she looked like a girl he knew and called her Janey.

We remember historical personalities like Sacagawea because of the role they played in history, and the events in which they were involved.
